Brewed with 5 different malt varieties including chocolate, dark crystal and caramalt, with a touch of rolled oats, Brown Ale delivers a solid malt backbone, with a light, crisp toastiness. This batch features Meridian hops from America, which layer on an easy touch of citrus fruitiness and a minty zing.

Bottle at Beer Shop Folkestone. I liked this beer. I've always liked the American Brown style. This has plenty of malt without being too heavy. Good hops on end deliver some chocolate lime flavour. A satisfying beer to drink
